BOOM [By Jumping Mouse]
I met you at the art show
You were looking mighty slow
Wondering which way to go
Will you take me there
I saw you at the bar
Five seats felt too far
Wondering if my voice could carry that far
do you even care
You walk in to the room
My heart goes boom boom
You walk into the room
Boom boom boom
Fate is a patient thing
If you listen real close you hear all the songs that it sings
You muffle the sound with weight of diamond rings
Fate is a patient thing
Fate is a patient thing
You walk in to the room
My heart goes boom boom
You walk into the room
Boom - boom - boom
It goes Boom boom boom
Don’t bring those big guns around
I want a fair fight till my heart hits the ground
Wondering why I pick it up everytime you walk in the room
As you shoot it back down with your boom boom boom
You walk in to the room
My heart goes boom boom
You walk into the room
Boom - boom - boom
It goes Boom boom boom
It goes Boom boom boom
It goes Boom boom boom
It goes Boom boom boom

Fit

I'm at ease
flying real low
I'm at peace
dying real slow
I'm at the window
of a plane going nowhere
I go where the wind blows
blowing me somewhere
and if I stop for just one moment i'd see that this world is not fit for me
no matter how fit I...seem
found me a map
of the wilderness
contour lines
seemed like a mess
it was a high school test
and I started walking
without rest
it's a stream I am stalking
and if I stop for just one moment i'd see that this world is not fit for me
no matter how fit I...seem
no matter how fit I seem
this world is not fit for me
no matter how fit I seem
this world is not fit for me
no matter how fit I seem
this world is not fit for me
so I will be as, I'll be as fit as I can
I'll be as fit as I can, I will be as fit as I can be
I be as fit as I can...be
five days
without water
end old ways
fit for the slaughter
what does it matter
if I feast
I'll get fatter
rest in peace
and if I stop for just one moment i'd see that this world is not fit for me
no matter how fit I......

I DON'T CARE [By Jumping Mouse]
I took a trip and you stayed in bed
You couldn’t get it out, no you couldn’t get it out of your head.
He was dead
But he was alive in another time
He was drinking fine food and eating fancy wine.
He was just fine
I don’t care what’s blocking your way, blocking your way
Get on with your day
I don’t care what’s blocking your way, blocking your way
Get out of my damn way
I wrote you letters, put them into a box
I kept them hidden like a key under a rock
You put a red dot over my heart
Electrified it and hoped it would start
I realized words don’t make it better
Destiny and density are all that matters
I don’t care what’s blocking your way, blocking your way
Get on with your day
I don’t care what’s blocking your way, blocking your way
Get out of my damn way
They say when you dance with the fear and the fright
You keep your soft places out of site
And that ain’t right
Save the last dance on your dance card for the feelings
The feelings in your heart.
That’s a start
I don’t what your mind did say, I don’t mind
Just throw it all away
All I care is what your heart did say
What did your heart say.
So far away

DEEPER [By Jumping Mouse]
I’m a solid stepping stone
Step on me until I’ve grown
Too big for your legs
Keep the stepping really light
Or I’ll fly away into the night
And find my own gig
There is more to know
I won’t stop reading until I go
Deeper, in, to you.
I’m an archeologist of the soul
I’ve been digging the deepest holes
Finding artifacts of you
Ancient material with shallow graves
Coming from the inside the see where I am mae
Finding a different hue
There is more to know
I won’t stop reading until I go
Deeper, in, to you.
I’m a surfer of mystery
Come along and ride the wave with me
Don’t you ever let go
When the sea gets rough
I will stand tough
Even if you go
There is more to know
I won’t stop reading until I go
Deeper, in, to you.
There is more to know
I won’t stop reading until I go
Deeper, in, to you.
Draw away your time From me
So I can learn how to be
Draw your lines really straight
So neither of us hesitate to be
I’ll draw outside the lines you make
Girl I will not hesitate to be
There is more to know
I won’t stop reading until I go
Deeper, in, to you.
Draw away your time From me
So I can learn how to be
Draw away your time From me
So I can learn how to be
Draw away your time From me
So I can learn how to be
Draw away your time From me
So I can learn how to be
There is more to know
There is more to know
There is more to know
I won’t stop reading until I go
Deeper, in, to you.

COME ALIVE [By Jumping Mouse]
Let's tell the only story that is true
I'll be me and you be you
we'll climb high up in the trees
tell stories of out fantasies
fantasy, o fantasy
fantasy come to me
fantasy you'll set me free
fantasy we are all in need
If I could I would
tell you stories to make you love again
if I could I would
tell you stories to make you alive again
come alive, come alive, come alive
come alive, come alive
come alive
come alive, o fantasy
fantasy
the television told us all the lies
it says there is straighter ways then the crow flies
it cut down all the highest trees
it destroyed all our fantasy
fantasy, o fantasy
fantasy come to me
fantasy you'll set me free
fantasy we are all in need
I'm screaming loud so come alive
can you hear me now then come alive
I'm screaming loud so come alive
can you hear me now then come alive
I'm screaming loud so come alive
can you hear me now then come alive
I'm screaming loud so come alive
can you hear me now then come alive
If I could I would
tell you stories to make you love again
if I could I would
tell you stories to make you come alive again
come alive, come alive, come alive
come alive, come alive
come alive -----
come alive, o fantasy
fantasy
come alive, come alive, come alive
come alive, come alive
come alive -----
come alive, o fantasy
fantasy
